To guarantee payment on maturity of either the amount of the promissory note referred to in article L. 313-42 or the interest attached to this note, the holder of this note may ask the lending institution to make available to him contracts constituting long-term receivables, with their guarantees, in addition to those already made available under article L. 313-43, for an agreed amount, provided that these contracts can give rise to the creation of promissory notes with the characteristics of those mentioned in article L. 313-42.
The contracts thus made available as collateral to the bearer of a note referred to in article L. 313-42 are indicated to the bearer at the same time as the contracts are made available, in accordance with the procedure described in articles L. 313-43 and L. 313-44.
The effects of this provision of collateral are those specified in articles L. 313-45 to L. 313-47.
Articles L. 313-44 to L. 313-46 are applicable notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, in particular those of Book VI of the French Commercial Code. These provisions apply to mobilisations carried out before 29 June 1999 in application of the provisions of this paragraph.
